Ideally it should match with target system-cpu and not have a list of everything possible. See below. > This can be fixed by keeping the alias somewhere, instead of just expanding > it everywhere. Yes, well my implementation expands the aliases but only internally, you only get the relevant target dependencies when building. Also exposing the expansions (via -n) is not wise. I think a better implementation would be to just match the aliases the same way it's currently done with the "any" virtual arch. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
